Astral Layla PFD

The Layla is specifically engineered for the female anatomy, featuring hinged princess seams and integrated bust cups. This design allows the vest to contour naturally to your body, preventing the restrictive feeling often found in unisex models while maintaining a secure, comfortable fit.

Yes, it is designed for whitewater, as well as sea kayaking, touring, and SUP. The durable 200 x 400 denier ripstop nylon shell is built to handle the rigors of active water environments, and it includes integrated pass-thrus if you need to add a rescue belt.

This blend provides reliable, high-quality buoyancy without the bulk associated with traditional all-foam vests. By using organic kapok alongside sustainable Gaia and PE foams, the Layla achieves a slimmer profile that improves your range of motion on the water.

The Layla uses a quarter-zip entry system. This design keeps the front of the vest clean and streamlined, which is helpful for paddling, though it does require pulling the vest over your head like a pullover.

The Layla accommodates chest sizes ranging from 31 to 51 inches. Because it features adjustable straps, you can fine-tune the fit to your specific measurements to ensure it stays secure during active movement.
